Chapter 290: Oceanic and Continental
There are various indications that at that time, the main general of Hua Buli Hua and the deputy general Zhang Hongfan urged the army to march quickly, and they had to quickly pass through this hilly area without the pirates being prepared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Vice General Zhang Hongfan has a better understanding of the situation in Shandong's Dezhou area.
In fact, the full name of Dezhou should be called Baodezhou, which was formally established in the fourth year of Song Jingde and about 1007, which means "the people protect the city, and the city protects Germany".
In the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in 1266, the Great Khan ordered the merger of Hequ and Bazhou into Baode Prefecture, making it subordinate to Taiyuan Road------ until it was occupied by pirates on Liuqiu Island, they removed the word Baozhou and referred to it as Dezhou.
Vice Admiral Zhang Hongfan has been thinking, haha, pirates are pirates, they only know the abbreviation but they don't know Geely!
Without the word Bao, Texas City, they must not be able to keep it!!
In fact, Dezhou City has always been a node city on the connecting channel between the north and the south, when the Great Khan broke through Dezhou City, the city wall there was already dilapidated------- and it was reported in detail that after the pirates occupied the city, they were just busy driving people to cultivate cotton and other crops, and never built the city wall.
Therefore, at this time, they only need to cross the Yuhe River, after passing through a hilly area, and then look around, there are some flat land around Dezhou City, and at that time, the north gate of Shandong will be under the iron hooves of my army------- which is a rare great achievement!!
Thinking about it, Vice General Zhang Hongfan's heart became excited, and some of the vigilance brought by Shi Tianze's death suddenly faded!
He must have been too careless to fall for the pirates?!
With a twist in his heart, he ordered the march to hurry up, cross the Imperial River, and quickly go to the place where the pirates were defended!!
Through the scouts' reconnaissance, they chose a blocked place that had long since collapsed to cross the river------- where after years of repeated walking by the people, it had already been compacted into a road five feet wide.
When Deputy General Zhang Hongfan rode his horse with the army, he thought in his heart that if the world was decided, he would definitely play the Great Khan and personally dredge the river------ if he could dig deep and wide, he would definitely be able to benefit the north and south of the river!
Of course, now everything is done with the priority of pacifying the bandits in the world!
As the collapse of the river was still not wide enough, and the order was hastily advanced, the cavalry threw off their baggage and rushed towards the hilly land like a long snake, completely ignoring the chaotic rear.
On a hilly hillside, Zhang Depei put down his monoculars, and he said to the team members beside him: "Send a signal, let our cavalry prepare to make a detour ------"
Two of his team members immediately climbed to the top of the hill, where there were two long bamboo poles with strips of red and white cloth tied to them.
The two of them cooperated, waving flags in the air, and soon the order was passed far and wide.
Waiting for the two team members to come back, Zhang Depei waved his hand and said, "Let's get closer and observe!" ā
A few of them bowed down and sneaked through the grass towards the enemy.
At that time, Zhang Depei and Captain Guo Beyu led the Liuqiu Navy to the Dengzhou Military Port in the northeast of Shandong, and they had been on standby all the time.
The two of them have been sending letters to their master's house, asking for a landing operation, and they also want to land directly at the capital of the Tatar bandits through the Bohai Bay, and they believe in their own strength!
The two of them have been comparing and comparing various nautical charts on the command ship of the navy------ and in today's world, no one has a more accurate nautical chart than them.
They made several battle plans at the same time------ but every time they asked for battle, they only got a reply from Master Zhang's family on Liuqiu Island:
Stand by and don't rush!
The two of them thought to themselves that this was because Master Zhang's family was worried that their level of land warfare would not be good------ so they began land combat training in the military port.
In fact, they didn't know that Zhang Daozhu was playing a big game of chess: he didn't want his strength to fight hard with the Tatar bandit group, and he didn't like them to take risks------ it was a good thing to completely wipe out the Tatar bandit army with acceptable losses, but if he could pay a very small price to completely hurt them, or even force the opponent to flee in the northwest direction, it would be an acceptable result.
In this case, the Liuqiu Guards may be able to digest the population, land, and resources of the enemy-occupied areas and strengthen themselves, and at the same time accumulate strength, which can be attacked and defended, and it is difficult to say that they will draw the Great Song Dynasty together to attack the western part of Asia!
In the west, there are grasslands where horses graze and natural fields where cotton is grown------ which is also one of the passages leading to milk and honey.
On the ocean, Liuqiu Island and the Great Song Dynasty can cooperate and enjoy the maritime gold trade route together; On land, Liuqiu Island can also cooperate with the Great Song Dynasty to jointly redevelop the land gold trade route!
Land transportation is expensive------ but it is safe enough, the enemies on land are mainly humans, and if the caravan is given enough self-defense force, it is far safer than the sea!
The islands are now completely dependent on the sea for transportation, but at this time, their seamanship is still vulnerable to the calamitous forces of nature!
Although Wang Defa's family has been constantly improving navigation technology and increasing technical equipment, the loss of maritime transport ships is still as much as 20%, and it has not been reduced------ this data has been quite good in the eyes of maritime merchants, much better than before!
But it made Wang Defa's family feel distressed------ so he fully supported the westward expansion plan proposed by Zhang Daozhu!
The character of the sea must be there, and the character of the continent must not be lost!
The ocean has no borders, and there must be no borders on the mainland------ Great Song people, take a good look, whether it is a big city that has been built or a city under construction on Liuqiu Island, how can one of them have a wall?!
As long as there are enough benefits, we will move forward in the distance------
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, and there are still many unexpected variables.
Captain Guo Beyu and Deputy Captain Zhang Depei have been ------leading sailors and sailors to train on land for a long time day by day, and Zhang Depei has asked to do his old job again, he wants to go to the front line to reconnoitre, even if he only leads a small team------ this is also one of the military training, maybe the effect of training with war is better.
Captain Guo Beyu could only agree that they went to the front line.
Zhang Depei joined Captain Bao Wei's army with his selected personnel and received the task of scout.
At that time, they boldly stepped forward to observe on ------the side of the road, and the dense vegetation covered them well, and they were not afraid of being discovered at all.
The cavalry on the road rushed forward like madness, the sound of horses' hooves mixed with the sound of wild screams, and they rushed straight into the clouds!
Zhang Depei observed carefully in the grass, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, it seems that they were really fooled, maybe they really thought that there was only a wooden fence in front of them to stop them?!
Zhang Depei watched with amazement as a number of brightly dressed generals also ran past him, and if they could shoot, they would be sambar deer at gunpoint------
The members of the Liuqiu Guard did privately refer to those cavalry as sambar, and the results of the previous battles were great self-confidence for both the old and new members------- and Captain Bao Wei also specially instructed for this purpose, not only to kill and wound the enemy as the credit, but also to have the smallest casualties, the largest harvest of booty as the criterion for merit.
With military merit, you can be promoted, you can be raised, and no one doesn't care about this.
